How to Make Everyday a Fashion Show

 

Life is meant to be lived to its fullest, and that starts with being proud of who you are. There’s no shame in showing the world your confidence and style. No matter who you are or where you’re from, you don’t have to be a movie star or a supermodel to have style, and you don’t have to be a millionaire to be classy and admired.

Finding Your Personal Style

Being chic and classy begins with being yourself and having a clear understanding of what works for you. Once you know what looks work for you, start combining them with what’s in style. Fashion recommendations come to us constantly without us even searching for them. We’re bombarded so often, that most of us don’t even pay attention. However, it never hurts to keep your eyes open and make a note of what you like or what you’d like to avoid.

The Cherry on Top

Once you have a clear feel for the kind of style you have and how you’d like it to evolve, every day really becomes a fashion show. To go along with the classy themes that I like to embody, I’d love to someday sport a Rolex. Though it’s not cheap, it’s the quintessential accessory for any man or woman who wants to show (not tell) that he or she is the embodiment of class and ambition. The Rolex, as you all know, is much more than just a watch or a gorgeous piece of jewelry, it’s a statement of passion and drive. If you’re interested in a myriad styles of stunning timepieces, go to either The Watch Buyers Group or ALTIN place and enjoy bringing your daily fashion show to the next level.

Support Breast Cancer Awareness with Accessory Concierge

Accessory Concierge - Tough As Nails

With Breast Cancer Awareness Month just around the corner, it’s time to explore the many ways you can support this noble cause. Not just during the month of October, but throughout the year. As a woman, fashion blogger and human being, finding a cure for breast cancer is a cause very close to my heart. Though I never cease to be moved by the powerful stories of survival, it’s my hope that someday we find a cure for this devastating disease and all other forms of cancer.

That being said, it’s often difficult to know for sure what products claiming to be associated with Breast Cancer Awareness actually support breast cancer research and programs. Just because a product has a pink ribbon on it, doesn’t mean that the profits from it are actually supporting breast cancer victims or funding research. So it’s important to do a little research of your own to make sure you’re actually shopping for a cause.

When I came across a new line from Accessory Concierge in which 20% of the proceeds are being donated to the Breast Cancer Fund, I knew that I had to help spread the word. Aside from supporting a wonderful cause, the Fight Like a Girl Cuff, Here Comes a Fighter Cuff and the Tough As Nails Necklace are all stylish additions to your jewelry box. Whether you’re a survivor, friend of a survivor or simply want to help, you can wear these pieces with pride knowing that you made a difference.

A Visit to the Kendra Scott Showroom

Kendra Scott Jewelry

During New York Fashion Week, I was invited to Kendra Scott’s showroom to see her signature, fall and winter collections. I was fascinated to learn that Kendra Scott first launched her jewelry line in 2002 with just $500. Today, the Austin-based designer known for her customizable pieces is selling off the shelves at premiere retailers such as Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s and over 600 specialty boutiques. She also has 17 stores of her own across the south.

Throughout the evolution of her design, her pieces have become smaller and more stackable – allowing you to wear many at once. I was quite taken by her winter starstruck collection inspired by celestial glamour and constellations. It will make the perfect addition to any holiday dress.
